COMMUNICATIONS.

| Some Facts Worth Considering.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In yesterdays issue of your paper there
appears what purports to be an extract from
Professor BaldWin's annual address to the
Historical society, containing his remarks in
relation to the State House question now be-
fore the people 1t is obvious that Professor
| Baldwin has not given careful attention tc
/ the main report and orders of the joint com
mittee which have passed both branches of
| the common council, or he would not have
been led into error regarding the propositions
submitted to the people. I quote his re-
1 marks as published:
| "The committee of the common council
| suggest in their report to that body that if it
| 1.-THE State House] be removed, new build
| ing should be put up on its site for the meet
| ings of the Historical society. If my posi-
/ ton entities me to say anything in reference
to the views of the society upon this sub
Ject, 1t would be that we expect the people to
decide this StateHouse question without refer
ence to US, and that in no event could we lend
even the sanction of our silence to the mon
strous proposition to pull down solid and
spacious edifee like this, worth 100000, in
order to put up new one on the identical
site for the identical purpose"
Had Professor Baldwin duly considered
the main report of the city, or even the
''orders and propositions" as published in
all the daily newspapers of New Haven with
| in the past week, he would have discovered
| that nothing therein appears which, by even
| the most ingenious wrestling, can be made to
| suggest the erection of new building con
| the Identical site for the identical purposes"-
| or for any other purposes.
The propositions submitted to the peo-
pie are two only, and simply these:
First. That the building shall be removed.
Second That the building shall be re-
paired at a cost not to exceed $50, 900.
Nothing whatever is submitted regarding a
new building on the same SITE
| Prof. Baldwin has evidently confused his
mind by the supplementary report of the
committee entirely distinct and separate
from the main report, in which the commit
tee spoke favorably of the site as one admir-
ably suited for a public library, in which
rooms might be set apart for the Historical
society. But the committee expressly with.
held ''any special recommendation upon this
subject, leaving its consideration to the wis.,
dom of the Court of Common Council" This
supplemental report" formed no part of the
main report and was simply received by the
/ council and ffordered on fle." It's sugges-
| tions did not enter into the ''orders and
propositions" passed by the council and now
submitted to the people.

THE TWo GREAT CANAL soHEaEs

THE Il WO GREAT CANAL SCHEMES.
The canal business grows more and more
Interesting. Facts have apparently been too
nuch for the willy and sanguine de Lesseps,
and in view of the fact that it is taking more
time and costing more money to complete
the canal than was at first estimated, he has
concluded that he ought to have vessels
crossing the isthmus at the very earliest date,
and has therefore altered his plans and will
build temporary locks fer the middle section
and thus save great deal of time in getting
the canal opened. The Technical commission
has approved this scheme, and de Lesseps
cheerily says: This approval leaves for e1-
traction only 40,000,00 cubic meters, 1O,-
100000 being hard soil and 80, ,000, 900 dredg-
able soil. The carrying out of these reduced
extractions being substantially insured, we
intrusted the task to N. Eiffel. This morning
NJ. Eiffel has engaged to execute these works
at his own risk within the period and on the
conditions desired by the company. It now
rests with the government of the republic to
insure definitely the execution of our pro-
gramme by authorizing the company to issue
lottery obligations. I have the honor to ask
for this authority for the 265, ZOO, ,0OOf. which
have still to be issued out of the 600, ,00O,-
000f. authorized by the shareholders, for the
300, ,000, ,000f. which may be needed between
this time and 1890, and eventually for the
whole or part of the sums already borrow
ed, the conversion of which would be offered
to the bondholders.
This is quite "a come-down" from the
original programme, and there may be still
greater descent, for the Nicaragua canal
planners are very busy. The final survey
expedition started from New York yesterday.
The chief object of the expedition is to test
the practicsbility of extending arti6cially the
level of the lake and shortening the lines of
excavation. AS originally laid out the route
was ITO miles in length, from Greytown to
Brito, with saltwater navigation for 129
miles. Engineer Peary and his assistants
will now perfect the provisional surveys with
view to ascertsining whether the level of
the lake cannot be extended eastward by ad-
ditional dams SO as to shorten the route at
least eleven miles, making 40 miles of still
water navigation, with thirty miles of river
and canal. The engineers will also examine
critically the harbor approaches at Greytown
and Brito, select sites for locks and estimate
anew the aggregate cost of the work.
1t is plain that the Nicaragua plan is a
very promising one, and it will probably not
cost, if carried out, much more than quar-
ter of the cost of the Panama canal. Of
course, therefore, the Panama canal cannot
compete successfully with it.

BULL FIGHT1NG I'm MEXICO.
Some Instances of Brutal Men Being

Some Instances of Brutal Men Being
Killed by Tortured Brutes.
[From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
Mexico seems to have gone wild on the
aubject of bull fighting. There are fights at
the two principal rings every Sunday and on
all feast days. In one of these rings Ponola-
no Diaz, the local favorite, appears, and in
the other the company of Spanish bull fight
ers give their entertainments. Both rings
are always crowded. The Spaniards are very
expert in their business, and the foreign coli
onists usually admire their style more than
that of the Mexican toredors.
Ponciano Diaz, who is certainly the most
popular man in Mexico, is remarkably hand
some, and is 80 pleasing in manner that the
populace go wild whenever he steps into the
ring. He has increased his popularity by
giving several benefits in which the entire
proceeds of the performances have been Civ
en- to charitable purposes. One of these
benefits in aid of the striking cigarette girls
drew together the largest crowd ever seen in
any ring in Mexico, and the gate receipts,
which amounted to several thousand dollars,
